How do I use the business card designer page?

We've tried to make the business card designer pages as easy to use as possible.

The text that will appear on your design is in the boxes on the left of the preview - we call them fields. We have prefilled them with some example information. You can enter any information you want into these fields by clicking in them and typing what you want shown on your card. If you don't want some of the information shown, simply delete it and leave the field blank.

To change the look of your text, and the background colour for your card, use the boxes on the right of the preview. Just click on the links to choose colours, sizes and text styles.

Now click on the 'Preview' button. In just a few moments we will generate a preview of your design.

You can amend the design and re-preview as many times as you like.

If you are unable to get the template to do exactly what you want, you can use our "Tweak It!" service. Click the box below the preview for more information.

Once you are happy with your design click 'Save and continue'.

If you want something on the back of your cards, choose a suitable template and edit it in the same way as the front, then click 'Save and continue'. The text fields work slightly differently as the text style and colour can be different for each field, but the idea is the same. If you just want single sided cards then choose 'No back'.

Review both sides of your card, read the text below the preview, and if you are happy check the checkbox and click 'Continue'.

If you don't proceed to the basket for any reason, your designs will be saved in your 'Recent items' for three days, just click the link at the very top of the page.

SPECIAL CHARACTERS

You can insert special characters, such as special punctuation, mathematical symbols and letters with accent marks by cutting and pasting from our character palette.

Why don't my commas or bullet points show up?

If you type a comma or a bullet at the end of the first address line, our software will put in the rest in all the right places on all of your items - magic!

Our designers don't think that commas at the end of short address lines look right, though, so we have programmed our templates to take them out. If you really want to have them, just type two commas (,,) at the end of each line. Our software will remove the end one, leaving you with the one you want.

Special characters

On your Windows computer - Microsoft Character Map
This is useful for the unusual accents or symbols. It is located
within Windows at Start - Programs - Accessories - Character Map
(OR click Start, and Search for Character Map). Find the character you need (you may have to scroll down), select it, copy it, and paste it into the field on our web page.

On this page - Character List
You can copy and paste characters from the list below into the fields - they may not display correctly in the input box, but they will create the right symbol on your preview
